Retrieve a
vSphere Automation
Endpoint on a
vCenter Server
Instance

Through the
vSphere Automation
Endpoint, you can access other
vSphere Automation
services that run on
vCenter Server
, such as Content Library and Tagging. To use a
vSphere Automation
service, you must retrieve the
vSphere Automation
Endpoint.
  • Establish a connection with the Lookup Service.
  • Retrieve a service registration object.
  • Determine the node ID of the
    vCenter Server
    instance where the
    vSphere Automation
    service runs.
  • Implement a function that retrieves the endpoint URL of a service on a
    vCenter Server
    instance.
  1. Invoke the function for retrieving the endpoint URL of a service on a
    vCenter Server
    instance by passing filter strings that are specific to the
    vSphere Automation
    endpoint.
  2. Save the URL from the resulting single-element list.
